[ RadSafe ] Anti-nuclear zealots over the globe.

Tue Aug 25 11:40:50 CDT 2009

Gary,

I wasn't refering to the specific claims of that particular article,
just the facts that Iraq has some DU cleanup issues as well as a passel
of land mines to deal with.

Sorry for the confusion.

Hi John, 

You are quite right that Maury's referenced article did not support his
claim of zealots avidly blocking new nuclear power plants.  That article
was really an Iranian DU propaganda piece meant to create social guilt
in the US for political leverage. 

But Maury's implied claim is nevertheless accurate.  If you need other
articles that do support his claim, I'll be happy to post a few.  

Now that we've tidied up that point, can you please clarify your use of
the phrase "uncontroversial and undeniable".  It seems silly to ask, but
are you in fact refering to the article cited by Maury, the Iranian
propaganda piece?  If so, do you really think the article is
"uncontroversial and undeniable"? 

Thanks, 
-Gary

Well, I followed the link to see if I could get a look at those avid 
new nuclear plant blockers, and I saw exactly nada. Just some 
relatively old stuff about how all the DU ordnance loosed on Iraq is 
still a problem, with a kicker toward the end noting that Iraq still 
has a lot of land mines strewn about. 

How, exactly do you make the leap from these uncontroversial and 
undeniable points of fact to "avidly blocking new nuclear power 
plants?" 

In fact, there was no connection to nuclear power in the article at 
all until you just made one. I'm not sure that helps the cause.

If any think anti-nuclear zealotry has diminished or died, rest 
assured; they are alive, well, and avidly blocking new nuclear power 
plants over the globe. Maury&Dog  (Maury Siskel

Years after the US attacks on Iraq, people in the Persian Gulf state 
are suffering form the consequences of radioactive contamination 
caused by the use of depleted uranium. 

Iraq's Environment Minister, Narmin Othman Hasan, said Monday that 
depleted Uranium (DU) weapons used by US-led troops against Iraq 
during the1991 Persian Gulf War and the 2003 invasion still blight the 
country. 

Othman Hasan said the use of super-tough weapons by the US-led forces 
had a devastating impact on the nation and has become a serious 
environmental challenge since they have contaminated several parts of 
the country. ..." ---------------snipped, see link for complete
